Description

This very whimsical map depicts the state of Massachusetts according to its landmarks and tourist acitivites. For example, a cow represents Springfield, Mass., while a person jetskiing denotes Cape Cod Bay. The map is in color, with "Massachusetts" written in large, bold print. The bottom of the map features a scene of the first pilgrims coming to the state - a man helps a young woman as other men unload a boat freshly brought in from a ship close to shore.
